Endeavor Martial Arts Center provides martial arts classes to the Arlington, Virginia Square, Ballston, Rosslyn and Courthouse communities and describes itself as Arlington's Best Martial Arts School. It states that Arlington members have seen improvements in as little as 7 days and that most students are grinning from ear to ear by the end of the class. The program advises families to wear comfortable clothes suitable for sports and to bring a water bottle to martial arts classes.
Parent and student comments describe the senseis as amazing with children, gifted practitioners and instructors, and sharing their love of martial arts in an environment of safety and respect. One testimonial notes that Kempo is the first sport that felt like a good fit for a less athletic adult, and another mentions that being connected to a genuine lineage through Kenpo Grandmaster Taylor makes it an authentic learning experience. A parent of a child on the autism spectrum reports that Sean and Soraya have done an “incredible job” of building the child’s self-confidence and developing his skills.
